[PATCH] ALSA: synth: emux: remove redundant test for r <= 13

[PATCH] ALSA: synth: emux: remove redundant test for r <= 13

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>

The calculation r = (3 - ((rate >> 6) & 3)) * 3 results in r being
0, 3, 6 or 9 and so the check (13 > r) is always true and hence we
can remove the redundant check and the else path.

The calculation of t itself can be generic in case we may add a
support greater than the current r, so I don't think it's so much
beneficial with this code reduction.  Better to keep the code as
reference.


thanks,

OK, that's a good decision.

NTL is should be documented that this is intentional before the next
scanner finds it.

just my 2 cents,
